Chaos reigns supreme
Mike Allen, Axios
President-elect Trump has enjoyed — and exploited — an aura of invincibility since Election Day that few Republicans have been willing to challenge publicly.
For an otherwise pliant group of Senate Republicans, former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s nomination as attorney general was a bridge too far.
The bottom line: The Trump who won 312 electoral votes a few weeks ago is the same Trump who exhausted many Americans with nonstop political drama from 2017 to 2021. He may be more prepared, focused and surrounded by loyalists this time around. But chaos will always be part and parcel of the Trump experience.
